Bodyguard X CEO.
Age gap.
Obsessive.
Adult.
They told me to protect her.
Not to touch her.
Not to want her.
Not to feel anything for her.
But from the moment she looked at me with those defiant, spoiled, fire-filled eyes-I knew I was already too far gone.
Aliana Sterling.
The heiress. The troublemaker. The living, breathing chaos I was assigned to keep safe.
And the last woman I should ever look at the way I do.
She's all pearls and poison.
A walking contradiction wrapped in luxury and recklessness.
And me?
I've killed men for less than what she makes me feel.
I've walked through warzones calmer than I am when another man touches her.
I keep my distance.
I play the role.
The silent shadow, the bodyguard, the man who follows orders.
But one day... I won't.
One day, she'll push too far, smile too sweet, cry in a way I can't ignore-and that will be the day I stop pretending.
Because she doesn't belong to the world.
Not anymore.
She belongs to me.

"Tell me, Eleanor, do you like seeing me like this? Do you like seeing me angry with you?" he yells, banging the spot above my head.

Do you need me to unleash my beast on you before you listen to me?" he asks, and I shake my head this time to tell him no. "Then give me a reason why I shouldn't take you across my legs right now and give you twenty lashes on each ass cheek for laughing at something Evan said," he says, and I pause for a minute.
